Figure 6. CT of the abdomen with IV contrast, coronal images. (A) 03/13/19 CT showed hypo-enhancement areas in the right hepatic lobe due to ischemia or tumor infiltration (thin arrows). Note compression of intrahepatic IVC (thick arrows). (B) 4/12/19 Follow-up CT with improved hepatomegaly with less compression of intrahepatic IVC (Arrow heads). Note more organized hypo-enhancement of the liver related to infiltrative process (*).
